Description

SWAB(3TIFF)                                                        SWAB(3TIFF)



NAME
       TIFFGetBitRevTable, TIFFReverseBits, TIFFSwabShort, TIFFSwabLong, TIFF-
       SwabArrayOfShort, TIFFSwabArrayOfLong - byte- and bit-swapping routines

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>

       const unsigned char* TIFFGetBitRevTable(int reversed)
       void TIFFReverseBits(u_char *data, unsigned long nbytes)
       void TIFFSwabShort(uint16 *data)
       void TIFFSwabLong(uint32 *data)
       void TIFFSwabArrayOfShort(uint16 *data, unsigned long nshorts)
       void TIFFSwabArrayOfLong(uint32 *data, unsigned long nlongs)

DESCRIPTION
       The following routines are used by the library to swap 16-  and  32-bit
       data and to reverse the order of bits in bytes.

       TIFFSwabShort  and  TIFFSwabLong  swap the bytes in a single 16-bit and
       32-bit item, respectively.  TIFFSwabArrayOfShort  and  TIFFSwabArrayOf-
       Long  swap  the  bytes  in an array of 16-bit and 32-bit items, respec-
       tively.

       TIFFReverseBits replaces each byte in data  with  the  equivalent  bit-
       reversed  value. This operation is performed with a lookup table, which
       is returned using the TIFFGetBitRevTable function.  reversed  parameter
       specifies  which  table  should  be  returned. Supply 1 if you want bit
       reversal table. Supply 0 to get the table that do not reverse bit  val-
       ues.  It  is  a  lookup table that can be used as an identity function;
       i.e.  TIFFNoBitRevTable[n] == n.

DIAGNOSTICS
       None.
